What documents do I need for a UAE family visa?

To apply for a UAE family visa, you typically need your passport, a marriage certificate (attested), and a residence visa for the sponsor. As someone who moved to Dubai in 2022, I found that it took about 2-4 weeks to process the application through the GDRFA. Make sure to check the latest requirements since they can change based on your nationality and the type of family member you are sponsoring. Pro tip: Prepare all documents in advance to avoid delays!
